Falling For My “Disabled” Wife by Veronica Winifred
Chapter 23

Chapter 23 

Ronald thought, ‘She wasn’t afraid at all when facing me, and even seemed a bit arrogant?” 

“You don’t even consider because of whom that you married into our family,” he said. He thought, ‘Speaking of which, she did marry into the family because of me. I didn’t expect that she showed no gratitude at all. She even argued with me. 

Ronald felt inexplicably frustrated, but he could only endure and stay. He thought, Just wait and see, you damn cripple. We have a long way to go!‘ 

Back in the room, Sophie slowly tried to stand up. Roger helped her back to bed and then folded the wheelchair. 

It was only after entering the room that Roger said softly, “Ronald is of that nature. Just ignore him.” 

Seeing him comforting herself, Sophie smiled faintly and said, “Why would I care about that fool?” 

‘She actually calls Ronald a fool, Roger thought, smiling involuntarily. 

Seeing his rarely seen smile, Sophie could not help but ask, “You smile? It’s the first time I’ve seen you smile.” 

Roger was always gloomy. When he talked to Sophie, he was serious too. He rarely smiled. This was the first time she saw him smile directly at her, face to face. 

At Sophie’s remark, his smile awkwardly faded away. 

Sophie immediately pouted and said, “Smile more often. You look good when you smile.” Her innocent face was adorned with a pure smile. Though she knew he could not see, she seemed to be teaching him to smile. 

Getting stared at by her pure gaze, Roger helplessly smiled again. 

Sophie immediately smiled even more radiantly. “You look good,” she said. “You are much more. handsome than Ronald. I was modest at the dining table.” 

As he looked at her sincere expression, Roger’s smile became even more pronounced. 

“Good!” Sophie said. “This smile looks handsome, and… gentle…” 

Toward the end of her remark, she realized that she seemed to be staring at him the whole time. She could not help but feel a little shy. Her gaze became somewhat evasive too. Even her face had flushed a little, and her heart started to beat irregularly. 

She thought, ‘Oh God. Thank goodness he can’t see this. She hurriedly used her hand to fan herself. Awkwardly, she closed her eyes and shook her head. She thought, ‘I can’t have impure

thoughts. I can’t. She restrained her sense of infatuation. 

Little did she know that her look was very amusing. The curve at the corner of Roger’s mouth increased even more. 

It was only after she regained her composure that she said to Roger, “I still rehabilitation for a while. Is that okay?”

But Roger frowned and said, “You already practiced for the whole day today. Nope. That’s not okay.” 

“Oh, Sophie said. Seeing his disagreement, she had no choice but to say, “Alright then… I’ll watch the laptop for a while, and later, I’ll freshen up and go to sleep.” 

“Okay.” Roger said. “Call me if you need anything.” Not disturbing her further, he turned around and went to the study. 

Sophie seemed to have grown accustomed to his presence. She leisurely turned on her laptop and went about her own business. She was unaware that those eagle–like eyes were still staring at her intently. 

Sophie turned on her laptop and began checking her account. Sure enough, after three days, her teacher had transferred all the money from her previous account to her card. This money came from her work over the past three years through various channels like painting, completing tasks. doing designs, and more. In total, it had reached a figure in the seven digits. 

But when she was in the Bourn family’s house, she dared not let them know about these things. Otherwise, they might not merely keep her captive. After all, the Bourn family kept suffering losses this year. People would do anything for money, especially a family like the Bourn family, which was inhumane. If they knew she had money, she might be nothing but bones by now. 

However, now things were different. She not only had money but also someone backing her up. She could finally live a free–spirited life. 

After thinking for a moment, she found the official website of a big brand for haute couture dresses. She ordered a couture dress, along with shoes and a backpack. 

She thought, ‘Since I’m going to attend the banquet, these things must be prepared. Other people can’t be relied upon to prepare them.’” 

In this way, she picked and chose on the internet. In no time, she bought many everyday clothes. and necessary items. 

When she snapped out of her thoughts, Roger had already arrived by her side. 

“It’s time to sleep,” he reminded in a domineering manner. 

Sophie exclaimed, “Ah! You shocked me.” Roger walked over without making any sound. Sophie was

so shocked that she hurriedly turned off her laptop.

“What are you doing?” Roger coldly asked in return. “You are so serious.” 

Looking at his unfocused gaze, Sophie sighed and said, “Nothing. Just buying some stuff online. Going to rest so soon?” 

She looked at the clock and thought, ‘It is indeed time to rest. I was just picking things online for a while, and an hour has actually passed. 

“Go freshen up,” Roger said gently. “I’ll help you.” 

Seeing his serious expression, Sophie sighed and put down her laptop. “Okay,” she said. “Thanks…” 

It must be said that even though Roger’s eyesight was not good, he was excellent at being caring. Wherever she went, he would personally take care of everything. In just three days, she had already become dependent on him. 

Allowing Roger to support her, she entered the bathroom and slowly made her way into the bathtub. Then, he gently turned on the faucet and checked the temperature. 

At this moment, Sophie realized that she had forgotten to change into her undershirt when she returned to the room. Seeing that the water was already running and Roger was letting the water flow in the bathtub with a serious expression, she simply took off her outer short–sleeved shirt, leaving herself with only a bra on her upper body. She thought, ‘He can’t see anyway, so there’s no need to go out and change. 

Roger did not glance sideways. His eyes remained dazed as he looked ahead. But from the corner of his eye, he saw her immediately taking off her clothes. He immediately tilted his head more toward the direction of the water valve, even wanting to turn around. But at this moment, he unexpectedly felt liquid running from his nose again. 

Without bothering to fill the tub for her, Roger abruptly stood up and said, “Freshen up yourself. I’ll go out first.” He suddenly tensed up as he got up. Then, he walked out of the bathroom with a 

strange posture. 

Sophie could not help but be momentarily stunned. She asked, “What’s wrong? You forgot something, huh?” That was the only reason she could think of. 

Little did she know that Roger went to get tissues upon rushing out. He thought, ‘Damn! Have I been taking too many supplements lately, causing me to have too much body heat? Why do I keep having nosebleeds?” 

The image of Sophie’s smooth arms and skin suddenly flashed through his mind again. Then, he felt a trace of warmth flowing out of his nose again. 

Unable to endure any longer, he had no choice but to go to the balcony to cool down in the breeze.

But there was a self–mocking smile at the corner of his mouth. He thought, ‘Is it because it has been too long since I last touched a woman? Otherwise, why would my nose bleed just by seeing her taking off her clothes? There’s something wrong with me. Something is really wrong! 

Time passed gradually. After Sophie finished bathing, she called Roger several times. It was only then that he appeared slowly at the bathroom door. With the door between them, he actually asked, “Have you put on your clothes?” 

Sophie frowned. Since she was indeed wrapped in a bath towel, she replied, “I’m dressed.” 

It was only then that Roger breathed a sigh of relief and slowly pushed open the door to enter. 

But unexpectedly, Sophie only covered herself in a bath towel. Her attractive shoulders were exposed. Her long legs were alluring. Even though she pinched the towel covering her chest, one could tell that her figure was rather voluptuous. 

At this moment, Roger once again felt a surge of arousal. He immediately turned his face away, hastily suppressing his emotions. 

Seeing Roger come to her side, Sophie walked out of the bathroom with his support. She thought, ‘But for some reason, Roger seems unusually stiff today. Even while he is supporting me, he seems cautious and afraid of too much contact.
